One Step Closer

How many years has it been, dear Lord
Since the day I believed and made You my Savior
I know You have cared for me every day
And given to me unmerited favor
And I have so much that I am thankful for
Oh, everyday, I want to be with You more
And I am one step closer now than yesterday

Day after day, I have seen Your love
In so many ways on so many faces
And, Lord, I have watched as Your love has grown
In so many hearts in so many places
So I'll keep doin' what You want me to
'Cause, Lord, I know You're gonna come back soon
And I am one step closer now than yesterday

We'll always be together
And You will teach me how to be like You
(Just like You)

Time after time I have let You down
But You are so kind, You always forgive me
And when I am weak, You are always there
To strengthen my soul, new courage You give me
And I can't wait until the day I see
Your children changed to immortality
And I am one step closer now than yesterday
Yesterday, yesterday, mm-hmm
Yesterday, yesterday
